I'm using "react-router-dom": "5.2.0". According to this stack post and blog to pass props to a component from route all I need to do is simply pass it like so:

{caseManagement && <Route path={`${SPA_PREFIX}/cases/:caseToken`}> <CaseView sarReport={sarReport} /> </Route>}

However, when I do this my complier doesn't complain, but in my browser I get the following error.

CaseView.jsx:48 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'params') at CaseView (CaseView.jsx:48:1)

If I change the code to the following it works as expected.

{caseManagement && <Route path={`${SPA_PREFIX}/cases/:caseToken`} component={CaseView} />}

Of course in this implementation I'm not passing any props to it. How can I pass props to my component? Below is the relative code of the component I'm passing props to

const CaseView = ({
  match: { params: { caseToken } },
}, sarReport ) => {
...

Issues

```
<Route path={`${SPA_PREFIX}/cases/:caseToken`}>
  <CaseView sarReport={sarReport} />
</Route>
```
When rendering CaseView as a child you can pass any props you like, but the route props, specifically match, are not passed and the error occurs when accessing props.match.params.
```
<Route path={`${SPA_PREFIX}/cases/:caseToken`} component={CaseView} />
```
When rendering on the component prop, the route props are passed along, so props.match.params works, but now you can't pass the additional sarReport prop.

Solution

In react-router-dom v5 to pass along the route props (i.e. history, location, and match) and other custom props you should use the render function prop.

Example:

<Route
  path={`${SPA_PREFIX}/cases/:caseToken`}
  render={routeProps => <CaseView {...routeProps} sarReport={sarReport} />}
/>

See Route render methods for further detail and explanation between the different methods for rendering routed components.
